:lol: :lol: Oops...typo. I fixed it.

By the way, I followed the procedure that I mentioned earlier for this one. Also I had only myself in the plane with the mains full and flaps neutral. Entered at about 120 - 125 with my butt on the horizon (about 40 degrees) and ended up about 15 - 20 nose low at the end. No problem...the water bottle in the right seat never moved.

Still a bit cloudy when it comes to aviation insurance? Find some clarity: Clear on Top

I have a YAK 50 that is amazing in the roll and the climb. I think every pilot should fly this aircraft at least once. Think about it a 92" 3 blade prop behind 400 horses with a weight of 1,700 lbs. I'm talking 5,000 fps and a sustained 3,000 fps in the climb. There are a few draw backs, only room for one and and a 40 gph burn at 100% power!

I think you mean 5,000 fpm and 3,000 fpm in the climb. :wink:

You should trade that 50 in for a 52 and take a friend along, they are just as much fun.
